@Redbaron73 you will soon find out that most if not all makers of chargers will not disclose the charger algorithms that there chargers use this is what I found out during my months of reading, emailing and phone calls.
My guess is it’s protected copyright stuff they don’t or can’t release, all of the Smart Chargers i looked at all peak at the advertised rate so with the NOCO 10 that would be 10 amps at 14.5 volts on the AGM cycle and i have measured this over a dozen charging cycles metered directly at the battery with a digital meter but understand once it sees 10 amps at 14.5 for a determined time it automatically kicks down the amps and voltage so for my testing at times the 10 amps output was as short as 30 mins and as long as 90 but I was charging two batteries that combined are 128 aH rating and are identical.
I am not sure I would use the NOCO 10 on the ESS battery but something to ponder is if one were to connect the NOCO to the main crank battery and since the main crank is connected to the ESS battery would this not make it one big battery for charging ? I openly admit Ive not researched this enough to tell you if that’s correct or not, maybe @Jebiruph can chime in and clarify but if the batteries are connected at a rested state ( Jeep off ) then I would think it would be connected amp hours and the NOCO 10 would be ok but again I have no technical knowledge to back this up.
